Hi, everyone. Hope you had a nice yesterday, whether you experienced it as Christmas or Monday or anything else. Things were swell here. Other than that I received a necklace as a gift and then immediately proceeded to lose it! Since I didn't leave the house, the occasions for saying "It couldn't just disappear" and -- the classic -- "It didn't just get up and walk away" -- were many. It got to the point where it wasn't clear whether we were repeating the old clichés for humorous effect or whether it was nothing but the sincere expression of frustration. And now I'm blogging about it as if I think maybe my readers might have some idea where the thing is.

But you can help in another way. Start entering daily votes for me in the final round for Grande Conservative Blogress Diva. They've narrowed it down to four, not just two, which means it's not just me against Michelle Malkin. I think this is an advantage, since the vote for real conservatives is split among three, and the eccentric votes -- mine -- may be enough to beat any of three. I think I would have lain low and let Michelle have the tiara if it had been a contest between just us two. I mean, really. She's so much more the Conservative Blogress Diva than I am, don't you think?

Go to where you put the blouse/sweater that you were wearing when you put on the necklace. See if it got caught on the clothes when you took them off. If that's not it, then it has to be the squirrels.

It could have fallen off, and gotten stuck somewhere on your blouse/sweater, without you sensing that it was there. Go now, and check those clothes. If you don't find it, then, yes, call Animal Control.

I once had a necklace slide off my neck in similar circumstances. Believe it or not, I found it when I took down my Christmas tree. Apparently, I was reaching around or up behind the tree to put on a gift ornament, it slide off, and caught in a branch. Noiseless, of course, so I didn't hear it at the time!

Did you lean over anything into which it could slide noiselessly while you were distracted doing something else and where it would be obscured from view?

Re the final round of the blogress diva contest - I think there'll be a pretty good split between Malkin and MKH. But more to the point, did you decide that my vote-demanding graphic was just too incredibly dorky? ;)

Answer to your last question: Yes. She has all the appropriate attributes and has a longer track record of successful on-line self-promotion. It definitely doesn't hurt her cause that she is currently embroiled in a high-profile disagreement with the Associated Press.I also have the definitive answer to the question, "Where is my lost necklace?" I confidently predict it will be found in the last place you look. No need to thank me.
